Chat about childcare
ABC childcare centres were once the darling of the investment world. Until, their overly ambitious owner 
Eddy Groves met the global financial crisis and the company went belly up. Who said childcare was profitable?
But now there is a new ABC. And they want to listen.
They want to hear your complaints, comments and quips about your childcare experience.
They’ve established a new forum based website to collect your comments: Childcare Chat.
They are encouraging an “open and honest dialogue with ABC and each other about childcare issues that matter to you.”
And they say “This is your opportunity to affect change and help mould the future of Childcare in Australia.”
They have ABC representatives ready to answer your questions such as why the heating system at your childcare centre hasn’t been fixed yet, their policy on junk food, and why you get charged for public holidays.
It’s a worthy initiative - and if your kids are in ABC care - I encourage you to have your say!

Well, for all your hype, the issues and questions raised on the new ABC forum, childcare chat, are the same I have heard asked for many many years now, except they are not commented via a forum, but direct to the Staff at the Centre, especially the Director. When asked directly to the centre, you get the correct and direct answer, not the bitching thats occuring on the Childcare Chat Forum. If one of my parents wishes to get the correct, real reason on any issue, they contact me directly at the centre, whose website is http://www.jillys.com.au That way, I can explain why I require parents to supply nappies, wipes and creams for example. The reasons are very practical and in the best interests of the child.
